Kenya's decision to support the renewal of an international LGBTQ+ rights expert's mandate at the UN Human Rights Council has provoked significant domestic criticism, notably from within President William Ruto's political sphere.

• Kenya was among 29 countries that voted in favor of extending the mandate.
• Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Opondo Kaluma criticized the government’s stance, calling it a betrayal of national values.
• Kaluma warned that Parliament would reject any future agreements that normalize homosexuality in Kenya, stating, “Our cultural values are priceless and can't be traded for anything under the sun.”
